August 2020
Dolmen cottage was a fantastic place to relax and to explore the Burren.. Family of 5 with kids 14, 12 and 7 had an amazing week at the cottage. Caherconnell fort across the road is great especially the sheep dog demo, and the magical Poulnabrone Dolmen a short still up the road which is an amazing place to watch the sun set. Clean tidy cottage with plenty of space, quiet and very private. Will visit again.

A very comfortable well equipped home.. Our family had everything we needed. It was great that we could bring our dogs too. Plenty of space for our family of 2 adults, 10 year old and 2 teens. Would highly recommend. Thank you.

The owners are superb and looked after our every need.. They made this holiday very special for us and we will be booking again. The cottage is in a great place for exploring the area and is just perfect if you are looking for a private, secluded location. Outstanding service, property and location. It felt like our own home for 8 days. Thanks for some very happy memories!

Absolutely gorgeous cottage and great booking facilities, would definitely use again as someone who was a bit nervous of booking a last minute holiday this made the whole experience very relaxing and did not disappoint..

Lovely cottage with everything we needed in good order.. However they do need to think of having wi-fi available if possible - especially when mobile signal is intermittent.

We particularly appreciate the fact that the owner of the cottage visited us on second or third.. Then when there was a minor problem with the water,he imediately. came out again and resolved the problem.

The position of this cottage within The Burran was very good and great that it was well away from the road. The weather was great, the Burran's flora in May is wonderful and this cottage sits right by many archaeological sites. We had plenty to see over the week.

We liked the interior décor, it was crisp, bright and welcoming.. Dolmen Cottage itself nestles amongst some of the few mature trees in The Burren with a scattering of bluebells and tulips. It was genuinely a haven, I loved every minute.

The hosts were fabulous and very helpful. The cottage is in an excellent location for exploring The Burren and an easy drive to many restaurants, bars and supermarkets. The house is fresh and modern with great features. It is warm, cosy and well lit. Perfect size for a family of 4 although it was just the two of us. We stayed for 2 weeks but wish we had stayed longer. Highly recommended.

Loved this cottage as a good central location for exploring the area.. Everything you need is provided, all mod cons but a rural feel and location. Very spacious comfortable design. Chuffed that we could have our wee dog with us as not many owners allow this, big garden for him to snuffle around. A great place to 'get away from it all' if desired; still plenty to do in locality when you want. Some super local eateries serving fresh produce (you can't get fresher than the chef taking your lobster from a pot pulled from the harbour!). Very friendly, helpful owners on hand if need anything or have a question. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again when visiting the county.

Access to wi-fi would have been ideal to look up details whilst there but not a major issue as you can do it 'old school' with the leaflets and books provided in the cottage.

Dolmen cottage is lovely and cosy place in charming country location. Owners are kind and hospitable. House is located in the heart of Burren and is a perfect spot for staying while visiting attractions in the area. Another great thing is that we could take our two dogs with us as Dolmen cottage is friendly for well behaved pets :) I really recommend that place!

A lovely cottage situated in a beautiful part of Co. Clare. The cottage was first class and the only downside was having to leave after a really enjoyable holiday. The owners of the cottage were more then helpful and made you feel really welcome. Looking forward to returning.

The cottage was lovely and on arrival we were met by the owner, whom is lovely and gave great advice on the area. The furniture is of high quality and the garden is a good size for the dogs. The photos really don’t do it justice. Shopping, fishing and pubs a short drive away. walking in the area
